Smetana - The Bartered Bride
Act One
Saturday 2 July 2005 18:30-21:00 (Radio 3)
Stephanie Hughes presents the Glyndebourne production of Smetana's comic opera about the relationship between love and money. Can true love win against the cynical manipulations of parents and marriage brokers? Will a mysterious man from outside the village be a better husband than someone nearer to home? Will the little dog of the travelling English circus perform on the night as he should?
